NOT Waiting for Superman - Take Action!

We've got news, articles, and resources, as well as discussion
boards to keep the dialogue active. Please invite colleagues and
friends to the site and join the fight.

Read on for ways to get informed, create dialogue & take action.

1. Write a letter to the editor or an op-ed. The
editorial page is a powerful forum for countering influence and
finding solidarity. Davis Guggenheim is a storyteller, but you need to
tell your own story, and the editorial page is an excellent place to
start. We offer FREE assistance to writers who need help
framing, editing and placing a letter or op-ed. Contact Fred McKissack
at fred@Notwaitingforsuperman.org for more information.

2. Pass out leaflets at the theater. On-the-ground,
direct action is a hallmark of American democratic values. Passing out
leaflets gives moviegoers something to absorb as they are bathed in
Guggenheim's oversimplified emotionalism. You can find ideas and samples of leaflets here. Note: it's
important to include local contact info.

3. Invite others to watch better documentaries. You,
too, can bring people together to watch a documentary or two that
treats the subject of education reform as a complex problem that
requires a holistic approach from the entire community, not as a pet
project for the wealthy. Here are four we recommend.

4. Join the discussion about the movie. Even if you
haven't seen the film, you can provide context to why the reforms
touted by this film will be the demise of public education. Below are
places you can start.
